The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

[PrettyWings]

OKay, great.

[AcerRo]

I think I counted about 11 or 12 characters.Once we get half that approved I'll get the IC up and we can start.

If this goes the I plan it, it'll start off a little slow, give everyone a chance to get used to the world and a chance for the older characters to fill us in what they've been.

Once things get going it'll get crazy quick and we'll see what happens from there.

Also with the addition of Mass, and with exception of Subject Zero were batting 1000 in getting the vital old members back.

[Horrid]

This open to all that are interested? I'd like something a bit more relaxed to get into.

[AcerRo]

It is indeed open to anyone.

[ViolentViolet]

Is this still open?

[AcerRo]

It is indeed.

[Gentlemanvaultboy]

I'm so up for giving this another go round.

The owlman cometh

Has anyone talked to Santa? We get him back and thats just about everyone.

@AcerRo

I talked to him yesterday, he said he doesn't feel like a superhero RP right now

I'm new to this site but I'm not new to roleplaying, and I'm interested in this thread, although I'll be fair I've only skimmed the first post. I'm from england and it's quite late at night where I am now so I'm probably going to read through the full thing again in the morning and then write up a character, the rest of the night might give me some inspiration as to my character.

Also, would it be alright to base a character off of a theme? (Cowboy, Knight, Native American, etc) I realise that it's modern day but they wouldn't be like time travellers or anything, more a case of them drawing inspiration from something to create a persona based around their powers.

EDIT: Taking a quick look through I see you already have a knight (well, a Paladin) so I suppose that's out of the question. Cowboy is something i'm considering though.

Name: Seth Conrad
Alias(s): Chainz
Age: 34
Affiliations: Hero
Factions: Independent

Description: At 6”5, 250lbs, sporting a shaved head, full brown beard and dressed in full leather biker attire, Seth is an intimidating sight. There is no real difference between in and out of costume for him, although when out of costume he will, on occasion, dress a little more casually than his Biker outfit. On the back of his black leather jacket, where most Bikers would show their allegiance to their club, is his name ‘Chainz’ across the top, and underneath a logo of a forearm and fist, with a steel chain wrapped around the arm and fist.

Powers: Metal Manipulation (Think Magneto, but not nearly as powerful. Where magneto could rip full buildings out of the ground, the limits of Seths powers would probably be ripping railroad spikes out of the tracks to use as spears, or using his powers to throw a car)

Skills: Seth is a heavy set fellow, so even without his powers he can handle himself in a fight as he is sufficiently strong, although nowhere near superhuman levels. Has a high alcohol tolerance, for whatever its worth.

Weaknesses: Seth is a heavy smoker, so although strong his cardio is terrible. Long fights will leave him winded, and he'll struggle to chase down someone without the use of his bike.
-He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and disgusting criminal acts like rape and murder, or any abuse towards children will anger him quickly, and when he gets angry he becomes reckless.
-He is streetsmart, but not booksmart.
-He forgoes careful planning, preferring to rush in head first and improvise.

Equipment: Seth’s main weapon is (yep, you guessed it) a steel chain which he keeps wrapped around his right arm and fist. Using his powers he can manipulate it to be used as a whip, straightened out into a metal staff, or even to wrap around someone’s arm, leg, or neck and lift them straight off the ground. His vehicle of choice is of course his Harley Davidson chopper, which, in conjunction with his powers can be used to travel across not only the ground, but through the air as well.

Ranking: B

Brief History: Seth was once a member of the Satans Slaves 1-percenter motorcycle gang, a criminal Biker organisation involved in drugs, prostitution, you name it. He had always been conflicted about his life, but felt trapped in this system. For reasons that Seth doesn’t like to discuss, he fell out of favour with the gang around the same time he started to realise his powers. He decided to make a positive change, and use his powers to help people, although other heroes don’t always see eye to eye with his methods as he has no problem with killing criminals who commit acts he deems bad enough, often in very violent and painful ways.

Damn! Well, we usually always accept people at whatever time so he'll be more than able to join later if wanted!

@OfficerHeadbutt

First of, as this site's most beloved potato, I extend the fondest welcome to you! :D

Also themes are what most people use as the basis for their characters so I see no problem in it whatsoever! In fact, you could probably attach a theme to most if not all of the characters from the old RP. Anyways, in terms of the character you posted, he looks fine to me! If I bring Ruby back, he'll probably be her worst nightmare! >.<

You'll want to wait and see what Acer says about him though!

@OfficerHeadbutt

Accepted. I love characters like this. Doing the right thing in their not so right way. I can't wait to see the interactions with Eli.

[Mass City]

I shall play the roles from before.

[AcerRo]

Chiller, Aiko and some political characters? I'm not all politically savvy and I did enjoy that level of depth we had. So I can try and figure something out.

We get another CS or two up and I start work on the IC. I'd like to see the new guys get theirs up before we start but I'll think of something.

[Archmage MC]

Can I still play? And how much of the old stuff will be active or are we starting all over again? Might wanna retune Light if things are starting over.

[An Outsider]

Interested. Watched this one from afar for a while, but never had the time to join before.

[Athoriel]

I'd love to partake in this if I may.

[Nytefall]

Name: Jacob Williams
Alias(s): Graviton
Age: 32
Affiliations: None but prefers to do things his own way, whether they be good or bad.
Factions: None

Description:

General Clothes:

In-costume

Jacob completes this costume with a mask to cover his face.

Jacob isn't psychically very strong he goes the the gym and looks after himself but he's no body builder.

Powers: Jacob can manipulate graviton and anti-graviton particles. gGavitons are the subatomic particles that carry the force of gravitational attraction and anti-gravitons are similar particles but with opposite force and spin of gravitons. Jacob is able to manipulate gravitons for various uses, including the projection of highly concussive blasts, formation of gravitational force fields and levitation, and had also been proven capable of generating gravitational fields in various objects, making them attract any nearby matter (or individuals) not heavy enough or physically strong enough to resist.

Skills:
- Trained in Jujutsu and is a Black belt in the Art
- Physics Professor
- Excellent Mathematician
- Can speak Multiple Languages including several dead language such as Latin.
- Eidetic Memory

Ranking: A

(Optional) Brief History: Jacob had always had a love for science and the universe and all it took was an accident to give him his super power. He became a Physics professor at his local university. It was here he began his fascination with gravity and it's affect on the universe. Setting up a number of experiments to try and discover the elusive Graviton particle. The machine he was using to split particles and study them backfired blasting him with a wave of graviton tinged Radiation. He had discovered the Graviton particle, the accident had been only moments from a eureka moment during his experiments, the accident had granted him his abilities and a new insight on the universe.

@Archmage MC

Acer stated we're restarting from the end of Arc 2 onwards (as in after fall of Aperture and the 5 year timeskip), as in from where the relaunch really started off.

Interested. Watched this one from afar for a while, but never had the time to join before.

@BlackSam3091

I'd love to partake in this if I may.

@Athoriel

We'll probably be open for all eternity
